Thanks so much for posting this! Martin's commentary on depression is spot on & the solutions were super practical. I like how he focused on what is helpful & unhelpful the most.

[@diegoperalta196]

Please do a video on depression and self-esteem.

[@jayd-n8w]

I came to this video from the short clip of being proactive when you have depression, and I just wanted to say I really appreciated the actually useful tips and pragmatism. I feel like everything you see online or hear from people (even therapists) is so future focused: make goals, see people, exercise... And yes! All those things are important, as you said. But I can barely get through now. It was honestly refreshing to see someone describe their experience in a way that truly resonated with my own.

After suffering from depression in High School and now college, Im finally starting to look into therapy and possibly medication. But I just wanted to say thank you Martin, I never realized I'm trying to solve problems in the future in the present. Its incredibily helpful how much I relate to you, and Im glad you're doing better

[@sejalb725]

you've never experienced depression Tom? wow... That's crazy. I can't imagine life without bouts of depression. I wish I could be like you.

I loved Martin's shirt! Continue wearing such shirts in a future episode!😊

[@qassim094]

What is this type of shirts called?

[@adityatile1168]

@@qassim094 don't know, do you know the name of haircut that Thomas has?

[@Tanya-uf9gj]

Kaneki search “shawl collar” sweater/cardigan. I’m sure there’s a better word for it though

[@Tanya-uf9gj]

Aditya Tile just a variation of the Undercut I believe

[@TheInforium]

@@adityatile1168 I have no idea what the name of my haircut is, but you could always just screenshot one of my videos and show it to a stylist! I actually do that when I end up having to get my haircut by someone other than my main stylist.

[@gm6170]

Hey I just wanted to say that your thumbnails (in general) are really well done!

[@tlamelomalima9934]

Hi, Thomas. Can you talk about new skills that students might find useful to learn during the school holidays?

[@nicholasn.2883]

I realize it's solidly 3 years into this. I need to do something now

[@levaiileon]

I use Castbox and love your podcast 😁

[@chilaquilesdemanny]

So.. is Martins “shirt” a shirt or a sweater?

[@paulfoster5746]

1 Investigate the A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 scale as a measure of your progress in learning a foreign language.
2 There can be a downside to being too good as the nstivr speaker will easily then overestimate your competence. This can be a major problem.

[@nathanhollow0]

Cool shirt martin

[@somer327]
